Jean Briconnet

Jean Briconnet (died 16 January 1495) was a French soldier and the son of Cardinal Guillaume Briconnet. In 1495, during King Charles VIII of France's occupation of Rome, he raped Vannozza dei Cattanei, the mistress of Pope Alexander VI, causing her to fear the touch of a man. Johann Burchard identified Briconnet to Cesare Borgia at his father's consecration as a cardinal, and Borgia later dragged Briconnet away from a prostitute that he was kissing, asked him if he had a mother, and proceeded to stab him in the chest with his dagger, killing him and avenging his mother's honor.
